vSAN is a hyper-converged, software-defined storage solution that stores and manages data in the form of storage objects. Similar to vSphere, vSAN can leverage commodity physical servers and locally-attached flash devices and/or hard disks. vSAN is also completely integrated into the VMware stack, so it works seamlessly with advanced availability features such as VMware vSphere vMotion®, VMware vSphere High Availability (HA), VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler™ (DRS), and VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT).
